Hijacker in Fright

His explanation, when it came, was as convoluted as his mind.

I have put objections for our meeting that would fly in the face of the rational and that would lead you to think as you do. Facetiousness justified, injury compounded. I hope now you will understand. I cannot fly. It is impossible. No plane will take me. I am like a hijacker who on the point of action takes fright. He blocks the cockpit until the captain does as he’s told and the plane descends.
